Story of Seasons Switch – When will it be Released?

Nintendo Switch was released almost one year ago. Part of the initial introduction to the hybrid console, the big N announced some big games as well. Story of Seasons Switch was one of the major titles announced to be released on Nintendos latest console. But Marvelous and Xseed Games have been very quiet about the farming simulator. What happened to the beloved franchise we wonder.

As you may or may not know Story of Seasons is formerly known as Harvest Moon. It is a farming simulation role-playing video game series created by Yasuhiro Wada and produced by Marvelous Inc. The series has quickly gained in popularity, and became one of the most beloved Nintendo 3DS games of all time, selling millions of copies. The last installment of the game was Story of Seasons: Trio of towns released in June 2016 in Japan, and later in the U.S. Some DLC content has been added to the game later on as well.

However, fans wonder what Marvelous has been up to since the release of Trio of Towns. Nintendo promised a release of Story of Seasons for Nintendo Switch, yet no other details have been revealed. We reached out to Xseed Games in hope to obtain some more information about Story of Seasons Switch. However, at this time Xseed games had nothing to share, but promised to update everyone in the near future when they have more details and information to share.

Any information leaks (or legitimate information releases in Japanese gaming magazines and so on) on SoS Switch could well have been delayed by the Japanese release of Futago no Mura+ just two months ago. I had thought we’d see some around now but I didn’t know they were porting that game at the time. :/ I really hope we’ll get even a little information soon. I would LOVE to get a glimpse of what the art style will look like on the Switch.

Wasn’t it only first announced one year ago at the Switch presentation in Jan/Feb 2017? Well, even if it is only one year, I had thought we’d start seeing hints of the game around the turn of 2018 and I think the release of Futago no Mura + is the reason why we’re not seeing anything.
